A clinical study evaluating Oxford-Online and Mind-Online for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 63 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two different online education courses (Oxford-Online and Mind-Online) for preventing stress related conditions among paramedics who have been working during a period of COVID-19 occurrence in Singapore. The study aims to: * Compare the efficacy of a locally-adapted version of internet-delivered cognitive training for resilience (Oxford Online) to an existing educational online training (Mind Online) on depressive symptom severity * Compare the efficacy of Oxford Online to Mind Online for improving posttraumatic stress symptoms, resilience, general psychological distress, anxiety symptoms, social support, work engagement, and health-related quality of life Participants will: * Complete an online battery of baseline questionnaires * Be randomised to receive 6 modules of either Oxford Online or Mind Online, delivered once per week over a 6-week period * Complete the same online questionnaire battery immediately following the intervention, and again at the 6-month and 12-month follow up

Timeline
Interventions
The Oxford Online programme targets cognitive predictors of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. The core information is delivered in six 20-minute modules over a 6-week period. The modules include whiteboard videos to explain concepts, audio files for practicing concrete thinking, video testimonies and footage of paramedics on-call for use in experiential exercises. A trained online wellbeing coordinator will provide individual email feedback on participants' responses and send brief automated message reminders.
Mind Online is a series of six modules available online where participants read information and advice about stress, depression, posttraumatic stress, sleep problems, anger, and mindfulness. A trained online wellbeing coordinator will provide individual email feedback on participants' responses and send brief automated message reminders.
